No the Inspire is not LTE capable. LTE requires a special chip which the Inspire does not have. LTE is still around 2 years away for AT&T (unless they surprise us) so no AT&T "4G" phone should have the LTE chip.
ATT said that LTE would be available in new York and Chicago by end of summer.

I work at an AT&T call center and we just had training on LTE...they say that it will be backwards compatible with all the current HSPA+ devices...
The network may be able to provide service TO HSPA+ devices but not the LTE speeds. Unless there is magic afoot.
From what I understand the "LTE" we will see on our Inspires (and most of the current crop of AT&T "4G" phones for that matter) will not be true LTE speeds, but will certainly be faster than the 3G'ish speeds most of us are seeing now.Thank you I know something like that was thrown around the web!

LTE devices will have HSPA+ activated so that they will be able to go back on that network once they are out of range of LTE. Which is why AT&T is saying that they are providing 2 layers of "4G" instead of one like Verizon and Sprint. Once you get out of their 4G range you drop drastically in speeds.I work at an AT&T call center and we just had training on LTE...they say that it will be backwards compatible with all the current HSPA+ devices...
